      We are building a cabin in northern Minnesota. What do I need to consider in regards to appliances? They will be extremely cold temps at least 4 months of the year.

      Assuming you will be cooking with gas, make sure the stove is propane convertible and basic. The fewer electronics, the better. Refrigerator I would do the GE top freezer that is garage ready. It is designed for colder temps and is very reliable with a simple thermostat. The dishwasher will be challenging as you need to make sure it doesn’t freeze or the pump can rupture. I would do the simplest models with knob controls. Try to avoid smart appliances. In cabins, simple is better. Probably best to do a brand like GE. Since parts are so universal and easier to find. Avoid brands like LG or Samsung here. If you have a larger budget, some of the pro-style ranges actually are pretty basic and designed to last!
